    That’s fucking hilarious. How many instances of this have there been now? And companies keep doubling down on AI? Fucking idiots. I’m not even savvy enough to call myself an amateur, and I know better than to make such a series of obvious mistakes that predictably led to this outcome.

    One possible concern, amid the amusement, is whether Anthropic programed Claude to punish companies it sees as potential competition. Or is this just a completely bonkers, off the rails LLM making terrible decisions because it’s just a probabilistic model and not actually capable of abstract cognition?

    Either way, these people are idiots for giving a machine program enough permissions to wipe their drives, they’re idiots for storing their backups on the same network as their main drives, and they’re idiots for trusting a commercial LLM API, when it would be cheaper to self-host their own.
